Personal history: Jane and Alec are considered witches when they were human. Aro is aware of the special talents that the twins had and wants to acquire them when they are older. When they are being burned at the stake for witchcraft, Aro steps in to save them and slaughters the whole village. Being burned at the stake intensifies their talents as vampires. Alec is all about no pain, and Jane wants to inflict that pain on others. (PC10/BD Concert Tour–Seattle Q&A)
Alec embraces Jane and praises her for bringing Edward, Bella, and Alice. He teases Edward about being in a better mood and notes Bella as “the cause of all the trouble.” He tells Edward that Aro will be happy to see him. Alec and Jane lead them to the turret room. (NM21) After feeding, Alec comes out to the reception area to let Edward, Bella, and Alice know that they can leave. (NM22)
Alice sees Caius sending a hunting party that includes Jane and Alec to see if Bella is human. She sends a wedding announcement to delay them. (BD27)
Edward tells Bella that Jane and Alec are the Volturi’s “greatest offense.” Where Jane can make you “feel the worst pain imaginable,” Alec makes you feel “absolutely nothing.” If they are kind, the Volturi have Alec use his talent before they execute someone. (BD30)
The Volturi arrive at the clearing “with pageantry.” They are in a “rigid, formal formation” that seemed to flow in “perfect synchronicity” — “it was the pace of the invincible.” The entire guard, the wives, and their witnesses are also present. Bella sees Jane and Alec next to Marcus with Demetri on their other side. (BD36)
When Bella smugly smiles at her, Jane snarls and crouches to spring when Alec stops her. He comforts his sister then turns his attention to the Cullens and their witnesses. Edward explains that Alec’s gift is slower than Jane’s. When the “strange clear haze” hits Bella’s shield, Alec shows signs of doubt. With the arrival of Alice and her witnesses, Aro casts the deciding vote and announces that he sees no threat from the “half-vampire children.” He turns to the Volturi guard and tells them that they will not fight today. The guard resumes their formation and departs along with the wives and their witnesses. (BD38)
